International. C•CURE BMS is the name of the new Building Management System (BMS) of the company specialized in security and fire protection Tyco Security Products (division of Tyco,). This software is an open platform that allows monitoring and controlling all types of automated systems, such as security, access control, fire detection and extinguishing, management of elevators and escalators, electrical distribution and comfort systems such as heating, cooling and ventilation (HVAC) systems, lighting, blinds and air quality.
In addition, when used in conjunction with C• CURE 9000, building managers can monitor and control all of a building's technologies from a single workstation, or even allow employees who need mobility to perform the monitoring task using online tools.
This system also allows you to dynamically filter, search and classify alarms using custom attributes such as the current status and level of alarms. In this way, masking functions prevent operators from being overwhelmed by multiple alarms at the same time.
"When used with C•CURE 9000, C•CURE BMS offers more features to provide building managers with an integrated tool that allows them to efficiently manage their buildings," said Luis Carlos DelCampo, product marketing manager for the Latin American access control line at Tyco Security Products.
"For example, a building manager can take advantage of system functions to conduct an energy efficiency analysis, monitor the history of site equipment to ensure compliance with regulations, or diagnose problems," he added.
An example of what the synergy between C•CURE 9000 and C•CURE BMS can do is in the case of fire alarms, if such an alarm is presented, it is possible to program the system to turn on the lights, turn off the ventilation, send elevators to a specific location and unlock all emergency and security doors, in accordance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) Standard 72.
